Chapter 1111 Japanese Messenger
Although Zhao Ming is actually not very concerned about his family. As a politician, he values whether his political ideals can be realized, but when choosing an heir, Zhao Ming still decided to choose his son.
In the next few years, Zhao Ming will gradually complete the reform of the Ming Dynasty politics and implement the one-party dictatorship of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, requiring all officials to join the party, and even the minor officials in the county and soldiers of the army can become party members.
He would turn the Kuomintang into a behemoth that is not capable of knocking down unless he is corrupted internally, collapsed by himself, and external forces and the emperor have no ability to knock down.
In the future, the regent of the Ming Dynasty will be the leader of the Kuomintang and the supreme leader of the Ming Dynasty.
In theory, any member of the National Socialist Party has the opportunity to do this position, but now Zhao Ming is appointed as the successor, and even when Zhao Ming's son is still the designated successor.
However, perhaps with the development of the times, or because one's descendants are too weak, they are replaced by strong people within the party, but that doesn't matter much.
Under such political struggle, it is definitely not as cruel as changing dynasties and all descendants were killed.
Zhao Ming looked at Zhao Jiancheng and chose him because he was not old, but he had been in charge of Han affairs for many years, and had governed the Han country in an orderly and prosperous manner.
He has experience in managing a country and achievements. When he enters the top leadership of the Kuomintang Party, he will not cause everyone to be too disgusted.
After all, there are many capable people in the party. Zhao Ming finds a stupid son to inherit his legacy, which will cause dissatisfaction among these people and violates the Party’s constitution.
Therefore, if you want to be elected as the party leader in the future, you will at least have some ability and there will be no situation where a fool leads the Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Ming was almost fifty, and he did not clearly designate his successor, which made the court officials a little anxious, and Zhao Ming's three sons were also secretly competing with the forces behind them.
Zhao Ming actually didn't want to give advice to the successor too early. After all, once a successor is appointed, some people in the party will naturally curry favor with the prince. This will challenge his authority and make Zhao Ming's power fall aside.
Now Zhao Ming felt his body decline, and was worried that after his death, his successor's foundation would be unstable and he could not stick to his route, so he made up his mind to train him.
When Zhao Jiancheng heard that Zhao Ming wanted to let him join the member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, he immediately understood what Zhao Ming meant.
Although the Han Dynasty is not bad, the regent of the Ming Dynasty is the most powerful throne in the world. Zhao Jianzhen was overjoyed and knelt down, "My sons must live up to their father's expectations, and do not let the ministers underestimate them, and do not embarrass the father!"
Zhao Ming laughed, "Get up! Have a meal first!"
The two brothers Zhao Jianzhi and Zhao Jianlong looked ugly in an instant.
...
After New Year's Eve, the New Year in 1665. After the court began, Zhao Ming issued an order to change the name of Ming to Xinming and set it as the first year of Xinming.
Later, the court documents and folk notes used the New Year's name, and held a military parade to change the country's name, inviting all vassal states to participate to demonstrate the arrival of the prosperous era.
At present, the world ruled by the Ming Dynasty is basically peaceful and all surrounding areas are in peace, but there is an exception.
Two years ago, because the Tokugawa family refused to join the Ming Dynasty tribute system, it was not cost-effective to directly send troops to attack Japan.
Zhao Ming adopted the method of subverting the Tokugawa shogunate's rule by subsiding the opposition within Japan.
With the support of the Ming Dynasty's funds and materials, the anti-shogawa army quickly defeated the Tokugawa family near Tokyo. The Tokugawa shogunate lost control of Japan and Japan returned to the Warring States Period.
After the battle near Kyoto ended, the Shimazu family, the most powerful Shimazu family, was about to continue north after occupying Kyoto, trying to wipe out the Tokugawa family in one fell swoop, but the Ming Dynasty was not willing to do so. Seeing that Japan was unified again, it did not continue to support Shimazu family.
When the Shimazu family marched towards Edo, a dramatic scene appeared. The Tagawa family, under the Shimazu family, fought back during the Edo war, helped the Tokugawa family, defeated the Shimazu family, and caused the Shimazu family to retreat to Kyushu.
After a arduous negotiation with the Tokugawa family, the Takawa family reached an agreement. The Takawa family accepted the Tokugawa family's canonization and became the daimyo of the Tokugawa family. He also allowed him to command 30,000 troops and collect Kyushu.
The Takawa clan was a relative of the Yanpei vassal state. With the support of the Ming Dynasty, he soon destroyed the Shimazu family and controlled Kyushu.
After the Battle of Kyoto, the Tokugawa family had realized that the Ming Dynasty did not take action personally, but only used the anti-Tokugawa forces in Japan to almost destroy the Tokugawa family, which made the shogun understand that the Tokugawa family could not compete with the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the Tokugawa family quickly submitted a letter to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and joined the tribute system.
After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, the Tokugawa family immediately decided to end the chaos in Japan and prepare to send troops to unify Japan again. The Shogunate Army and the Tokugawa Army fought again in Kyoto.
Two forces, one supported by Yanping and the other supported by the Han Dynasty, can be said to be the struggle between the left and right of the Ming Dynasty. Both sides suffered heavy losses, which made the Japanese aspiring people gradually realize that they were played with by the Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, another incident happened in Kyoto, which made all Japanese daimyos extremely indignant. The Takawa army raided Kyoto controlled by the anti-shog army while maintaining peace with tacit understanding between the two armies, and caused the emperor to die during the shelling of the city.
This made the anti-shog army furious and launched a crazy attack on the Tokugawa family. The Tokugawa family was unable to support it, so they could only send envoys to the Ming Dynasty for help. The anti-shog area also sent envoys, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could support the anti-shog faction, destroy the Tokugawa family, unify Japan, and re-establish the emperor.
At this time, in Nanjing, a team of messengers from Japan walked on the streets of Nanjing. The head of the Ministry of Rites accompanied him and slowly walked towards the Ministry of Rites. While walking, he explained the attractions in Nanjing.
The messenger of the Tokugawa family was completely uninterested, but he just responded with the sound, and seemed very absent-minded.
Now the Tokugawa family is in crisis. If the Ming Dynasty does not come forward to mediate, then the Tokugawa family will be over. But will the Ming Dynasty agree to stop the attack of the anti-shog army?
The anti-shog army was supported by the Ming Dynasty, which made the messenger feel unconfident.
His only basis was the tribute agreement signed by both sides last year, which included terms to protect the Tokugawa shogunate, but if the Ming Dynasty did not value this agreement, he would be unable to do so.
"I wonder when His Highness Regent will be summoned?" the envoy asked carefully.
This is the key. Without Zhao Ming's summons and nodding, no matter how the Ministry of Rites discusses, it will be useless.
Master Qian did not directly answer the messenger, but just smiled faintly and said, "I don't know much about this matter very much. I'll know it later if I ask Zhongtang later."
